Crafting

There will be a robust Crafting system in Starbound, allowing players to create items using a large variety of materials. Tiy, one of the creators of the game, has said that the number of items the player will be able to craft will most likely go into the thousands.

The materials scattered across the galaxy will vary greatly from each other. The player may find a specific powered crystal on one planet, and maybe a rare plant on another.

The items will also vary greatly from each other. In the crafting picture, we see hazmat suits, lucky pants, a rawhide cowboy hat, a (bigger on the inside) backpack, an air tank, and more. The possibilities of craftable items are almost infinite!
